I wrote about opportunity in The Graysonian Ethic, and that of course it's unequal. Equality of opportunity isn't possible.
In the 12th chapter, "success", I wrote: "This fact cuts both ways. It means that in your life you are likely to get opportunities that other people will not get, but it also means that you are certain to not get opportunities that others did get."
Many of the rich people in silicon valley happened to be at the right place at the right time. People who weren't there at the time will never have a chance to go back or to go there. Silicon valley today isn't the same place it was when Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were building their empires, they just have different opportunities than you. There's nothing any of us can do about it. billions of people never got the opportunity, and there's nothing any of us can do about it.
